Best Wine Clubs for Newbies

Club W offers affordable per bottle pricing, flat rate shipping and the chance to learn a little something.

Unlike other clubs, Club W doesn’t just send you a shipment of wine with tasting notes and recipe pairings – they also have an innovative app that you can use to scan each bottle of wine and get an in-depth lesson on the winemaker (also known as vintner), the winery and the wine itself. With the app you can order another bottle (or two) also.

Club W also does a tasting profile when you first sign up, which is ideal for those who are new to wine. You will discuss your taste preferences – such as how you like your coffee, chocolate types, etc. All of these help the club experts pick wines that will please your natural palette.

A Few Details about this Club:

The Featured Wines Club is $13 per bottle with a three bottle minimum order. Shipping is a flat $6 – so you are paying $45 for three bottles or $15 per bottle.

There are no contracts and you can skip a shipment at any time with this club – providing you with plenty of time to explore your new wine shipment.

Sometimes the only way to familiarize yourself with wines is to try a big variety.

The Grab Bag Wine Club does just that. This club ships five times a year with six bottles of randomly selected wines – from reds to champagnes to whites and blushes. You’ll even get rare and limited production wines – so you can taste your way through a variety of wines without breaking the bank.

There is no tasting profile, but you get a large selection of different wines from different regions at discounted prices – making it easy to find out what you do and don’t like. But, you will also get tasting notes and information about each wine – helping you figure out which wines suit your tastes better.

With the Classic Series you will get two bottles of wine each month from around the world that have been handpicked by experts. You will also receive detailed tasting notes, recipe pairings and information about the wine.

While you don’t get to do a tasting profile, you can take advantage of club specials online and order extra bottles of wine for a great price. Also, their Wine Education center on their website offers an exceptional amount of information for newbie wine drinkers.

A Few Details about this Club:

With all Wine of the Month Club memberships there are no contracts. While you cannot skip a shipment, you can switch to receiving your bottles every other month or every three months if once a month is too much.

Are you he eco-conscious type? Now you can join a wine club that thinks on an environmentally friendly level.
